Greetings from NE Ohio. Just bought a Maxx 4 during the Labor Day Weekend. Surprised it performed as well as it did. Has lacked serious maintenance for a while. I knew it needed chains, sprockets and bearings. Looking forward to the rebuild. Has Goodyear 26's and a Kohler Magnum20 installed. I have re built several motorcycles and one airplane so turning wrenches is not a problem. Also own my own machine shop. The question I have for members is: Is there a direct replacement for this engine? I am concerned that parts , if available will be more than a new engine. This Maxx appears to be an older unit, serial number in the 8000 range. Driven it a little, despite all the racket and I really like this machine. So far, this site has a wealth of information which I am just staring to explore.

Don't see many welcomes so I figure on a group welcome to all the newest members.
Come in look around and learn what you can, question what you can't but be patient.
This is the busy season with the hunters logging in to see what's going on so responses may be quicker.
It is best to ask your questions in the affiliated forums. For the Kubota engine, try member plumcrazy though the one he had was a while back, check the parts for sale section.sigpic
My new beer holder spilled some on the trails - in it's hair and down it's throat.

Hello everyone! Purchased an older Argo Response 8X8 late in 2021, did some work to it and added some accessories to make it suitable to my purpose. Took it on our first adventure in Feb of this year on an ice fishing trip. Looking forward to many "Argo Adventures" in the future. Currently using it on my property to haul firewood and just used it on the water the other day to pull the raft off my lake for the Winter! Joined to take advantage of the collective wisdom I'm sure is collected here in all the members who have more experience with these machines than I ;-)

Hi all. I am new to the forum and new to the Argo world. I recently purchased a 2009 avenger 700 8 x 8. The machine is in beautiful shape and has 18 inch tracks, a full enclosure, and a snow plow. I live in the UP of Michigan and have already been able to use it to plow snow. It seems like an amazing snow removal machine! Based on a post i read here I have added an onboard battery minder to keep the battery topped off after using the winch for plowing. I have had two issues with it so far. Unbeknownst to the seller, there was a leak in the gas tank. He was gracious enough to drive two hours up here and fix it for me. Great guy! This past weekend the temperatures were down in the single digits and I had a frozen fuel line. I got that taken care of and now keep it in my semi heated garage. I am really looking forward to learning more about this machine with the help of you all, and getting out and enjoying it!

I?m looking forward for the knowledge that will be found in this group. I have a 70 something hustler, 16 hp Kohler engine t20 transmission. I?m a thinking about bring it back to life, it doesn?t leak much as it was holding water and the frame and axels have seen better days as the rust worms have eaten the inner frame and damage the axles. Rims and tires will need some help also.
Attempting to clean and remove frame for further inspection.
